Answer:
82 cm²
Explanation:
To find the area of the shaded region, subtract the area of the rectangle from the area of the circle.
Area of circle:
radius = r = 7 cm

= 3.14 * 7 * 7
= 153.86
≈ 154 cm²
Area of rectangle:
l = length = 9 cm
w = width = 8 cm

= 9 * 8
= 72 cm²
Area of the shaded region = area of the circle - area of the rectangle
= 154 - 72
= 82 cm²
